NASA Astronaut Frank Rubio Peers Out SpaceX Dragon Spacecraft Window


NASA astronaut Frank Rubio peers out of a window aboard the SpaceX Dragon Freedom spacecraft docked to the International Space Station during Expedition 67 on Oct, 6, 2022. Rubio was observing the SpaceX Dragon Endurance spacecraft, carrying four SpaceX Crew-5 crew members, approach the orbital lab for a docking to the Harmony module's forward port.

After arriving to the orbital outpost on Sept. 21, 2022, NASA astronaut Frank Rubio has surpassed a full year in space. His record-breaking mission has included dozens of scientific investigations that have helped researchers better understand how humans thrive while living and working in space. 

Astronaut Frank Rubio of NASA, International Space Station Commander Sergey Prokopyev (Russia) and Flight Engineer Dmitiri Petelin of Roscosmos (Russia) are preparing for their departure next week on Sept. 27, 2023.
